PIONEER DIES AT AGE OF NINETY-ONE
Mrs. Sevilla Dudley, of 142 Fremont avenue, one of Springfield's oldest pioneers, who had witnessed the growth and industrial development of the city from the year 1833, succumbed at 7:25 o'clock Wednesday night at her daughter's home, aged 91 years. Death was due to old age.

Evans, Pierson Dudley, Mrs. Horace Hansell, Mrs. Harry Hauer, all of this city, Mrs. Truman Bugbee, of Chicago and Mrs. Edward Wolf, of Dayton.
